I don't mean to sound like a ☝️🤓, but there's a very great analysis of Emesis Blue that takes the original script and the interviews with the creators into account.
This is the link to the full video since I don't want to end up misinforming:

I want to just touch on that Spy's Disguise allegory: in the final chapter, when Fritz is driving the ambulance to his presumed death, behind him you can see a Blu Spy laying down in the back if the van and it is (if I remember correctly from the video) confirmed that that is the Spy from Spy's Disguise. So him and the Smoker are two separate persons.
Which I personally like better. I dunno, I like the idea that the Emesis Spy (I think they named him Jacques??) is just this huge, selfish piece of shit who thinks he's better than everyone and deserves his own lackey and deflects all of his own faults onto Jane Doe.
why was spy so mean to soldier in emesis blue I get that he's stupid but damn chill out dude
